Be a good boy scout
Although soul-preparation is the most important preparation you can
do–wearing sacramentals, being in the state of grace–we cannot forget the
body either. With more terrorism and wars, a monetary crash, earthquakes
and other disasters threatening, it’s only good common sense to prepare
yourself and your loved ones for these latter-day events predicted by Our
Lady and Our Lord. Veronica of the Cross had stated that there should be
at least two weeks supply per person. The following has been adapted from
the emergency preparedness manual of the American Red Cross.

APOCALYPSE NOW
“In justice and for penance, there will be visited upon your earth great
trials: droughts, famine, rotting crops, hurricanes, floods, all manner of
earth tremors and disturbances of nature, increasing in volume, spreading
throughout your world. There will be eruptions and manifestations that
shall bring terror to the hearts of many, in places that have never seen
nor heard of such volume of sound and fierce eruptions of the earth.”
St. Michael, August 21, 1976
GET ON IT
“O My children, how many will try to go back and restore their homes when
it is too late! Keep blessed candles, water, blankets, food within your
homes.”
Our Lady, June 12, 1976
NO REGRETS
“How well you listened to Us when We told you to place on your shelves
cans of food, jars of water, blankets. You found it very cold, My child,
without heat and without light, and without any form of recreation other
than to pray....*
“Retain your crucifix on your doors. And keep
your supply of earthly goods, though they are needed for your human body:
the canned food, the candles, the water, and the blankets. A sudden cold
shall come upon mankind, and many shall die from the cold.”
Jesus, October 5, 1985
*Our Lord is referring to Hurricane Gloria that hammered the Northeast on
September 27, 1985, including Long Island where Veronica lived. Gloria
killed 11 people and is the 13th costliest hurricane in U.S. history with
damage totaling nearly a billion.
ALERT LOVED ONES
“My children, not only with the canned foods will you store just food, but
you must also make known to your families and your friends that they had
best keep blankets and water in tight containers; for there will be on the
onset of the Chastisement, there will be nothing you can buy due to
contamination....
“My child, I wish that you boil the water in your
home. I will tell you now, My children, if you are receiving waters for
your use in your homes, it must be boiled, because the contamination of
chemicals and waste matter–nuclear waste matter–is driving down into the
soils of the nation and polluting these waters, which will bring imminent
death to many.”
Our Lady, July 1, 1985
BE READY
“So many of you will not be ready! Keep your waters clean in your
bottles.”
Our Lady, June 18, 1988
OBEY COUNSEL
“Your end can come by day. It will come upon you quickly, and how many
shall be prepared? Do you have your candles? Do you have your water, your
canned food, and your blankets? It will become an extremely cold day with
the start of the Tribulation, and you will welcome having these on hand,
My children. Do not take this lightly, but abide by Our direction and you
shall not be caught short of provisions.”
Jesus, November 1, 1985 |
